Paint Swatch Banners

As I mentioned (in the last post),

I'm doing a craft camp for girls ages 7-12. 

One of the crafts we did today was a paint swatch banner.

I have 2 different ones to share (both cute):

-a summer one 

-a forth of july one

 

Along with the tutorial on how to make your own banner I'm also including a freebie. 

It's the letters for the banner (I'm so nice)! 

you can get the freedom one here and the 

summer one here

WANT TO MAKE YOUR OWN? 

GET: 

-paint swatches (6 or 7)

-bakers twine/ any kind of string 

-packing tape

-foam adhesives 

-banner letters 

DO:

-cut all your paint swatches into triangles (if your doing the freedom banner you also need small triagles of one color)

-THIS STEP IS ONLY FOR THE FREEDOM BANNER:

  put a foam adhesive on the small triangle 

  put the small triangle on the big one

-cut out the letters with a 21/2" punch 

-put a foam adhesive on the back of the letters 

-put the letter on the triangle 

-punch a two small holes in the top of all the triangles 

-put string through the holes and tape it in place
